Default coilovers

Just lowered my car with some coilovers, but i didnt do much research now im wondering has anyone used coilovers to lower their car and not buy the alignment kit needed for the new ride height?

This has been covered many times and there is a sticky on another board I believe. Generally, out of spec toe angles will eat through tires quicker than negative camber. Just tell the alignment people to zero out your toe/bring it back as close to factory spec and you should be fine. You can buy a camber kit to bring the camber angles back into spec, but it's not absolutely necessary.

If you want to be cheap get your toe adjusted. Most of the time when you lower Civics, it ****s with the toe prettty bad.
